The Colton Brothers Saga: Border Ambush
Robbed and beaten by outlaws, stagecoach guard
James Colton vows justice and recovery of his grandfather's
watch. Determined to find his heirloom, James hunts the
outlaws, only to face an immoral sheriff who gives him
no choice but to shoot.
“The action never flags,
and Groves has surely found her true calling...her cast of
characters, their habits and idiosyncrasies is distinctly
rich and right-on. A rip-snorting adventure yarn.”

The Colton Brothers Saga: Sonoran Rage
Stranded in the rugged Sonoran Desert, stagecoach
drivers James Colton and older brother, Trace, are
captured by warring Apaches. Tortured and driven to
the breaking point, James is used as a bargaining chip
by the great Apache Chief Cochise. James will die if
Trace can´t win freedom for Cochise´s brother, imprisoned
by the Army. Trace rushes to negotiate a trade, but the
Army has other plans - attack Cochise and his warriors at
Apache Pass.
“Groves gives us the true flavor of the west
as it was; the privation of dire situations and the honor and will of the individual.”

ALL ABOUT RODEO
Heart pounding, blood pumping, the cowboy nods,
chute gate opens, and his world begins. Eight seconds
of adrenaline rush. The animal under him bucks and twists.
The buzzer sounds, the cowboy dismounts, tips his hat to
a cheering crowd, and nods at his proud fellow riders.
Just another day at the office.
This book explains the ins and outs and yes,
ups and downs, of this exhilarating, extreme sport
called rodeo.
